亞歷克·布拉德利（Alec Bradley）公司這個(gè)月早些時(shí)候在美國(guó)PCA貿(mào)易展展示了今年的限量版珍稀系列,，名為BCN-143,，預(yù)計(jì)今年11月份上市,。和之前年度的版本一樣,，今年的版本使用了10種不同的煙葉卷制。但是,，由于STG今年年初收購了亞歷克·布拉德利公司,，所以今年珍稀系列的經(jīng)銷工作交給了STG旗下的子公司復(fù)制者雪茄公司（Forged Cigar Co.）。
布拉德利·魯賓介紹說,，這款年度限量版是他與父親魯賓,、哥哥亞歷克共同研發(fā)的，也是他們父子三人最后一次合作的煙葉混合,。STG收購公司后,，他和亞歷克留在公司繼續(xù)擔(dān)任品牌大使。我們對(duì)煙草滿懷熱愛,，這也是我們與STG一起共同推動(dòng)品牌發(fā)展的承諾,。
2023年度的珍稀系列是一款丘吉爾型號(hào)，50環(huán)徑,，7英寸,。茄衣是洪都拉斯種植的克里奧羅98煙葉，兩片茄套煙葉,，一片是洪都拉斯的特羅赫斯（Trojes）地區(qū)種植煙葉,，一片是尼加拉瓜的埃斯特利地區(qū)種植的煙葉，茄芯煙葉包含以下品種：洪都拉斯的賈馬斯蘭特山谷種植的克里奧羅98煙葉,，尼加拉瓜賈拉帕地區(qū)種植的克里奧羅98煙葉,，洪都拉斯的特羅赫斯地區(qū)種植的克里奧羅98煙葉，洪都拉斯的特羅赫斯地區(qū)種植的科羅霍99煙葉,，洪都拉斯的賈馬斯蘭特山谷種植的科羅霍煙葉,，尼加拉瓜的賈拉帕地區(qū)種植的科羅霍99煙葉。
珍稀系列每盒10支包裝,，在美國(guó)的售價(jià)是每支25.99美元,，今年預(yù)計(jì)發(fā)售2500盒。
自2011年推出珍稀系列以來,，基本每年發(fā)售一次,，每年的版本有一個(gè)共同的特點(diǎn)，總是包含10種不同的煙葉,，這是這個(gè)系列的招牌,，但是雪茄的尺寸每年都會(huì)有所不同。雖然亞歷克·布拉德利的品牌已經(jīng)歸STG所有,，但是這款雪茄仍然在洪都拉斯的單利地區(qū)的古巴之根雪茄廠（Raices Cubanas factory）卷制,。
This year’s limited-edition Fine & Rare BCN-143 from Alec Bradley was on display at the PCA trade show earlier this month and is scheduled to ship in November. Like all previous Fine & Rare releases, it contains 10 different tobaccos. But unlike previous releases, this will be the first time Fine & Rare is sold through Forged Cigar Co., a subsidiary of Scandinavian Tobacco Group, which acquired Alec Bradley earlier this year.
“Alec Bradley Fine & Rare BCN-143 is one of the final blends that Alec and I developed with Alan Rubin,” says Bradley Rubin, referring to his father and brother. Bradley (and his brother) remained with the company, becoming a brand ambassador for STG after the acquisition. “It embodies our passion for exceptional tobacco and our commitment to carrying the brand forward with STG.”
The 2023 Fine & Rare BCN-143 is a box-pressed Churchill (7 inches by 50 ring gauge) and is composed of a Honduran Criollo ’98 wrapper grown in the Trojes region; two binders (one Honduran from Trojes and one Nicaraguan from Estelí); and a filler blend of the following tobaccos:
Honduran Criollo ’98 from Jamastran
Nicaraguan Criollo ’98 from Jalapa
Honduran Criollo ’98 from Trojes
Honduran Corojo ’99 from Trojes
Honduran Corojo from Jamastran
Nicaraguan Corojo ’99 from Jalapa
The filler tobaccos come from both ligero and viso primings, combining for a blend of 10 different leaves.
Packaged in 10-count boxes, each Fine & Rare BCN-143 cigar will have a suggested retail price of $25.99. Only 2,500 boxes are being produced.
With the exception of an errant year, Fine & Rare has been a consistent annual release since it debuted in 2011. It always contains 10 different tobaccos—the hallmark of the brand—but the size sometimes changes each year. Despite being now owned by STG, Fine & Rare is still made in Honduras at the Raices Cubanas factory in Danlí.
